Bloody hell.
RIP Tom.
Saddened to hear about this Eddie. I hope the planned treatment goes as well as expected and perhaps leads to a surgical option.
Wishing you and your family all the best during this difficult...
Sorry to hear of your loss Matt. It’s healthy to cry and it’s good to talk. The whole strong silent man stereotype is extremely damaging and probably contributes to suicide rate in our society. As to...
We were told today that we are “business as usual” on Monday. All scheduled surgery is expected to happen.
Although with the schools being off, childcare will be a concern for many staff.
Dave
We are waiting to hear. Update: see post #19.
Dave
OP, glad to hear you are recovering and avoided intensive care. Matthew, well done for helping organise this. But then, you are one of the forums fundraiser experts!
Please put me down for three...
Hi Chi Kai
My SPB143 is all packaged up for posting tomorrow. However I can confirm that it does have the 2.5mm/1.1mm “fat” bars installed in the bracelet. I bought the WatchGecko spring bars...
Just noticed a trailer for Clone Wars spin off as well.

I’m planning on getting a Steeldive watch at some point, it’s quite possible it will more accurate than my SPB043 at tenth of the price!
The irritating thing is that I know the movement is...
Thank you for the responses everyone.
“Hit & Hope” regulation, that should be funny but really isn’t.
I will keep the watch for another week or two, see if the movement settles, although I’ve...
My week old Seiko SPB143 is running approximately 30s/d fast. I might have tolerated this on something inexpensive ike a Turtle or a SKX, but on a £1100 watch it is really disappointing. My recently...
Thank you. Walter was kind enough to get in touch and send me a copy, which arrived today.
Dave
Walter, I love the quote on your wallpaper. Very simple but meaningful. A small reminder every time you look at the screen.
I think I will search for a similar wallpaper for my own devices.
I...
BB10 OS was quite advanced for its time, being completely gesture based and very intuitive. Unfortunately the Blackberry App Store was woefully limited. You could side load the Amazon App Store which...
I collected my 143 today and generally very pleased. Bezel alignment reasonably ok but the lume pip is too far to the right. Photos to follow.
I absolutely agree with the idea of replacing the...
I could return my Home Screen to what it was, with rarely used apps in a folder. But this would simply duplicate what’s in the App Library, which can’t be edited or deactivated. The App Library seems...
iPad Air 3 and iPhone XR updated with no problems noted so far.
Only annoying thing is I can’t edit the App drawer on the iPhone. I would prefer to have the simple A-Z list as default. Or at least...
Do you realise these are all locking, so not “UK Friendly for everyday carry?
Dave
EDIT: never mind, I just read further down the thread and realised you have already bought something. Enjoy.
Absolutely agree.
Dave
What a lovely little watch, American movement in a British case.
To me, a watch like this represents emotional value rather than monetary. Do you remember your father wearing it? Does it remind...
It looks great on that strap.
My local AD recently stopped offering to preorder the 149 on their website, so I suspect UK allocation is drying up. I have put in an order for a 149, after reading...
Thank you for posting this side by side shot. I’ve yet to see the new Willard in person, it hadn’t occurred to me that it would be smaller than a Turtle. I must try one on soon, if my local AD get...
That made me smile, thanks for posting OP!
Dave
Thank you for posting this review. This watch is high on my list of potential purchases and it’s great to get some real life thoughts and photos.
Although it’s disappointing to hear Seiko still...
